10 Times a Couple's PDA Was Too Much for Everyone to See

We know there’s nothing wrong with showing love and affection to your significant other, yet there are times when some couples cross the line without noticing it. Holding hands and staying close to each other are fine, but blatantly caressing and petting one another in public can really be cringe-worthy – especially to the people around you.

“A kiss on the cheek is fine in public but a kiss on the lips, especially with the tongue, is not a correct behaviour because it is such an intimate act,” says William Hanson, an etiquette and protocol consultant. He also adds, “Kissing in public almost devalues this sign of affection because it is supposed to be intimate.”
